We are recruiting an Assistant Farm Manager/Farrowing House Manager in Worcestershire, WR8.
The role:
Take day-to-day responsibility for the farrowing house on our client’s 750-sow indoor gilt multiplication unit and provide hands-on support to the pig manager. You’ll help maintain high standards of sow and piglet care and keep the weekly farrowing and weaning routines running smoothly.
About the unit:
The modern, straw-based breeding unit supplies replacement gilts to commercial herds. Around half the pigs are reared on site to bacon weight, and the rest move off site at weaning. Facilities include scrape-through pens in the dry sow accommodation.

Person specifications:
Strong practical sow husbandry skills and a genuine commitment to animal welfare
Excellent attention to detail and a diligent approach to daily stock care
The initiative to work independently, improve routines and support the pig manager
We welcome experienced managers and experienced stockpeople ready to take the next step into management.
